Headliner; Wind Screen; Automatic Antenna; Wiper Blade - Mercedes-Benz SL Operator's Manual

In general, regular spraying or cleansing with clear
water is sufficient to keep the top clean.
Wash the top only when heavily soiled.
Light colored soft tops should be cleaned frequently to
prevent spots and dirt from setting in, which could stain
and discolor the soft top material permanently.
Caution!
Never use any gasoline, thinner, tar and stain removers,
glass cleaner, or similar organic solvents to clean the
soft top, plastic window or wind screen. They will cause
damage which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.

Note:
For safety reasons, remove key from steering lock before

The condition of the wiper blades is important for
satisfactory cleaning of the headlamp lenses. We
